The increase here shown In imports Of certain
materials points to expansion Ot domestic indus
tries whereI the procurement OF these materials
from abroad 6oes not in olive failure to utilize home
resources But that is the fact in regard to the
imports of raw fax, hemp and similar materials.
which largely imported only because existing La VS.
do not prevent the wasting and Totng OF vast guam
tties OF hemp and fax grown in this country. II is
not the fact as to imports iron ore winch lessen the
demand for products of American mines IL Is not the
fact as to imports OF hops which take the place OF
American produ either when the crop is short or
when foreigners can uudersell American producers.
Deductinp these few items it is that the imports
N raw materials have not increased value but have
actually decreased this is true both OF tue duty
FREQ and the dutsble clssses 10 like manner the
increase 10 imports of partly manufactured products
Ia almost wholly due to the enormous imports of pig
and scrap IRON, which threaten the prosperity OF
most important home industry. Further evidence to
the same effect is found the following summary of
imports OF manufactured products:
